CARRYING CAPACITY ASSESSMENT AND STRENGTHENING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES OPERATING IN CHEMICALLY AGGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper presents a case of an industrial building in the chemical works, in which intensive production processes caused corrosion and weakened structural members. The results of investigations and static strength analysis are provided. They were necessary to assess the reliability of the structure operating under chemical corrosion conditions corresponding to the XA exposure class. The repair plan, already implemented, together with selected components of the building structural upgrade design are presented.

INFLUENCE OF HYDRATED LIME ON THE PROPERTIES OF FILLER-BITUMEN COMPOSITE
To guarantee the quality of warm mix asphalt, one of the prerequisites is to provide adequate adhesion between the bituminous binder and the aggregates. To achieve this goal, filler-bitumen mixes were examined with a rep...
A FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEME TO SOLVE ONE-DIMENSIONAL ROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH SOIL FREEZING AND THAWING
A finite difference scheme, which can be easily used for PC-programming to solve one-dimensional problems associated with soil freezing and thawing is presented. The method takes into account the real phase equilibria in...
